Subject: [PATCH v9 0/8] reduce memory consumption for powerpc
 firmware-assisted capture kernel

I posted the initial version [1] of patchset [2] adding support to enforce
additional parameters when firmware-assisted dump capture kernel is active.
Michal reposted it with few improvements to parameter processing to make
it more robust. He further posted patchset [3] with few more improvements.

This patch series clubs the work from these two patch-sets while segregating
the generic and arch-specific code to ease the review process.
